Food Ideas for Car Camping

 Food Ideas for Car Camping 

Car camping is fun, adventurous, and inexpensive. All you need is a good bunch of enthusiastic friends, a great camping car, and a few essentials, and you are all set for a great trip. However, while you can rent a car at Menorca quite easily from Binicars for your camping vacation, you really must invest your time and efforts in other aspects, like food. 

Unlike beach holidays in Spain, where there are restaurants and cafés everywhere, you’ll have to carry food, water, and even the tools to prepare food for the campsite. So, a little preparation will help you bring everything to one place. In this blog, we will tell you what kind of food suits best for car camping trips. Also, if you are flying to Menorca, you can book your camping rental car at Binicars in advance so that you can get the keys directly at Mahon Airport. 

What to Source for Your Car Camping Meals?

Since you will be camping on the go, you will have to figure out something easy to eat in the car and easiest to cook. You can search through the internet to find various camping recipes popular in your country. However, here’s the basics of it:

-       Super nutritional meals so that you are not easily hungry

-       Easily available ingredients across any country

-       Meals made out of non-perishable ingredients and which can survive in various temperatures

-       One-pot meals 

-       Non-messy, light on stomach foods

Easy Meals and Camps – How to Bring them Together

You may get the idea (from movies, of course) that cooking in an open pit fire is fun and romantic. In truth, it is not. It is messy and inexperienced individuals can successfully burn their recipes. Therefore, we recommend carrying a 2-burner camping propane gas burner. They are much easier to use than starting up a fire.

Foods You Can Make During Camping

-       Potatoes: they are easy to make, filling, tasty, and can be turned into various recipes. 

Noodles and pasta: You can make the sauce and chop the veggies before starting your trip and storing it in the cooler.

-       Eggs: They are handy, nutritious, and super tasty

-       Bacon, cheese, and bread in the cooler.

-       Make sandwiches with mayonnaise, chips, ham, veggies.

-       One-pot rice like lemon rice, pulao, lentil-rice, chicken curry rice, etc.

If you don’t have a stove, snack ideas include mixed nuts, instant noodles, hummus, chips and salsa, protein balls, cakes, bananas and other fruits, and carrots.
